His security is still paramount. But it’s the best solution.patricia kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08069054302546667715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-7909765179316606272012-08-19T22:20:16.309-04:002012-08-19T22:20:16.309-04:00...I didn&#39;t think I would feel this way, but I......I didn&#39;t think I would feel this way, but I&#39;m actually a little skeptical of the Ritalin Generation author. The reason for that is because I don&#39;t know that even the most pill pushing doc would prescribe a child ritalin solely for poor performance in school. Don&#39;t get me wrong. I have met MANY a college student who was able to score stimulants from a pdoc or GP, and they didn&#39;t even have to be dishonest about it. One friend told her GP she was having trouble studying during the day because she was so used to studying at night. Her GP told her that is a form of ADHD caused by chronic late night studying. So she gave her a prescription for Adderall so she could study during the day.<br /><br />I know many docs don&#39;t see any problem with prescribing stimulants to adults who want it for reasons that have nothing to do with ADHD. But that is very disturbing that such a practice would happen with kids.Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06030949818467743750noreply@blogger.com
